Velvet Rush

Brown Ale - Imperial / Double

Borrowing elements from both high-end craft cocktails and moody jazz clubs, Velvet Rush takes the bourbon barrel-aged brown ale up an octave with free-flowing notes of coffee, chocolate and vanilla extract. Milk sugar aids in weaving together this complex tapestry of flavors to create a unique sipping experience that really ties the room together.

Rich coffee character with definite chocolate and subtle vanilla notes. Thick rich creamy texture with warming bourbon alcohol taste. An excellent example of an imperial brown ale barrel aged. All you dark and imperial beer lovers this is a must try! 🍻

Yes, chocolate and vanilla. Coffee for sure. The bourbon barrel aged gives it a very nice kick.

It's all there, coffee, chocolate, vanilla, milk sugar & bourbon barrels. It had a sweet booziness that harks back to days of my youth under-age sipping of the Original Southern Comfort. To Founders Brewing's credit it's not as sweet as Southern Comfort.

Coffee and vanilla in the aroma. Taste has bourbon, vanilla, chocolate and coffee. The body is medium+ with a lower amount of carbonation. Good beer, not great, but good. 4/5

Every flavor on the bottle is in there and hits the taste buds ... but it seems a little too mashed up . The flavors don’t really flow

My wife says she can actually taste the coffee and vanilla and it doesn’t taste like raisins. She adds “all barrel beers taste like raisins.”

Is that velvet?? It is velvety, smooth, bourbon, vanilla, and a little coffee. Quite good. Quality.

There is a lot going on in this beer. I’m going to have to try this on two or three different occasions and average out my rating.

BFLN. I was pretty surprised at how light it was. I really thought it would be more stout-ish. That said, it's solid. Nice coffee notes. ABV is well hidden. Definitely more of a sipper.

Drinking this while drafting for football. Was pretty tasty but I wouldn't have guessed that it was barrel aged. Lots of coffee flavor.

Bottled 7/29/21. Interesting taste. A lot to take in. Can taste the vanilla and creamy milk sugar notes. With a good mix of barrel aged smokiness and a decent alcohol tinge. Complex but good. Almost like a fine whiskey with less bite.
